Large Rapidity Gap Method to Select Soft Diffraction Dissociation at the LHC

Figure 11

Distributions of (a), total energy deposition (b), and particle multiplicity (c) for the events that have a central gap with a  MeV cut on final state particles in . The distributions are normalized to the number of events, N, that pass the analysis cuts. The MinBias event class is used as a reference for the ratio.
